Rod,
Thanks for the catalog number, but particularly for the review link. I have already ordered one of the disks (Brautigam Variations Globe GLO 5095 ) a couple of weeks ago and have high hopes for it when it arrives next week. Of the others, I think I shall look to the Pommier disks, even though they are on modern piano because the review talks about his careful tempos etc., which I have been reading about lately in Rosen's Sonata Companion and should like to hear performed that way. Have you heard any of these Pommier performances? This was a very useful link, and I appreciate it. Who has money to waste these days?
Regards, Gurn

I for one haven't heard Pommier, butI can recommend Komen and Badura-Skoda who are mentioned in the review. Brautigam is excellent too, potentially the best Beethoven performer if he ever bothered to record the complete B sonatas on the fp.
